Allgates, Wigan NOTES www.allgatesbrewery.com | @allgatesbrewers Rule of 72 – A single hopped Experimental APA – 4.5% abv Brewed with Experimental hop 07270 (a big bold high alpha hop), it’s like walking through Kielder Forest on a summer’s day — green, earthy, resinous & some spice — with a sweet underlying tropical fruit character. The pine carries over into the flavour, assaulting the palate with thick, juicy resin which fades away, allowing citrus fruit to make an appearance and a dry finish. Brewing fine craft beer in the heart of Wigan, in a fully restored 19th Century Grade II-listed, tower brewery and combining heritage with imagination, All Gates build on a British cask ale tradition, producing bold hop-forward beers but retaining balance and subtlety; beers with true Northern Soul. Alphabet Brew Co., Manchester www.alphabetbrewing.co.uk | @alphabetbrewco Kerbkicker Saison – Saison – 5.3% abv The Pale ale with fruity, hoppy character that is Kerbkicker, fermented with Saison yeast – especially for us! Atom Beers, Hull www.atombeers.com | @atombeers Pavlov’s Dog – Peach Iced Tea Blonde – 4.0% abv 40 kilos of fresh peaches and 5 kilos of Chinese white tea have been crammed into a luscious blonde ale brewed with pilsner malt, Carapils and acidulated malt. A huge hit of juicy peach and bready malt will crash across your tongue, followed by a smokey, earthy white tea that provides a tannic backbone to make you have another sup. One of the North’s newest breweries, Atom are fundamentally a brewery dedicated to making good, flavour forward drinkable beer. We have been borne out of the passion for beers and science by Allan Rice and Sarah Thackray. Ultimately we find the process of making beer using world class ingredients, some traditional and some off the wall, the most exciting part of what we do, there is nothing better than formulating a new beer and experimenting on our kit to make it. THE SECOND INDEPENDENT SALFORD BEER FESTIVAL Bad Seed, Malton NOTES badseedbrewery.com | @badseedbrewery Aussie Session IPA – Pale Ale – 4.3% abv Big upfront hop character at an easy drinking strength. Australian hops Summer, Topaz and Vic Secret make this beer a totally tropical fruit experience. We make handcrafted, full-flavoured beers, using the best ingredients and innovative recipes. Beer that makes you sit up and take notice. Beer that makes you want to sing. Beer that makes you happy to be alive. All great adventures start with a Bad Seed of an idea. Plant Bad Seeds. Go on an adventure. Drink good beer. Beer Nouveau, Manchester beernouveau.co.uk | @beernouveau Sorachi Bubblegum – Imperial Stout – 9.6% abv An imperial stout brewed with Sorachi Ace hops for a coconutty flavour along with an added secret ingredient giving it a bubblegum sweetness that dries out to a long, chocolately finish. Formerly Manchester (and indeed England’s) smallest commercial brewery. Steve expanded his operation by purchasing the brewery previously used by Privateer Beers. The beer supplied was brewed on his old kit (in collboration with Clever Yeti Brewing), guaranteeing that we will have the only cask! BlackJack, Manchester www.blackjack-beers.com | @Blackjackbeers Belgian Gold (dry-hopped) – Belgian IPA – 6.0% abv Graduating from working in some of Manchester’s finest pubs, to brewing at Marble Brewery, finally setting up his own brewery in 2012 barely a stones throw away from Marble (on some of their old kit!), Rob Hamilton and his small team make some adventurous and incredibly tasty beers in their railway arch off Dantzic St. THE SECOND INDEPENDENT SALFORD BEER FESTIVAL Blue Bee, Sheffield / North Riding, Scarborough NOTES www.bluebeebrewery.co.uk / northridingbrewery.com | @bluebeebrewery / @northridingbrew Little & Large – IPA (Mosaic, Citra, Sorachi) – 6.5% abv Collaboration brew with North Riding Brewery. A golden IPA packed with American Mosaic, Citra and Sorachi Ace hops to give big citrus and tropical fruit flavours. Blue Bee Brewery began brewing in Sheffield in 2011. It is now owned by Reet Ale Pubs who operste the Rutland Arms, the Closed Shop, the Three Tuns and the Punchbowl in the city. Blue Bee produce three core beers: Reet Pale 4.0%, Hillfoot Best Bitter 4.0% and Tempest Stout 4.8% on top of numerous one off specials with an emphasis on New World hops. Brass Castle Brewery, Malton www.brasscastlebrewery.co.uk | @BrassCastleBeer Mosaic – Single Hopped Pale Ale – 4.3% A juicy-fruit Pale Ale that exploits all of the glorious pungency of the US super-hop Mosaic. Brass Castle Brewery mashes grains, boils hop charges, pitches yeast, racks into casks and does an awful lot of cleaning, right in the centre of Malton. At full tilt the microbrewery can produce 200 casks of beer a week. In addition to a wide range of cask ales, some beers are bottled and others are put into kegs. All the beer produced at Brass Castle is Vegan and Vegetarian friendly. We do not use any animal-derived ingredients in our brewery processes. Brewsmith Beer, Ramsbottom www.brewsmithbeer.co.uk | @BrewsmithBeer Nelson Sauvin Gyle 50 – Pale Ale – 5% To celebrate our 50th brew, and in collaboration with Hop on the Bike, we have made a special 5% Pale Ale using some of our favourite hops, giving grapefruit, citrus and pine aromas. Excellently positioned on the banks of the River Irwell we are currently producing a small range of cask ales: SIBA North West Outstanding – Brewsmith Bitter, Brewsmith Pale, Anvil Ale, Brewsmith IPA and our Oatmeal Stout.
